"I don't know if this will sound right or not. I have been playing the numbers for a long time and I seem to have better luck if I wait until the last couple minutes before the draw to play my numbers"

I am really surprised that twenty people haven't swarmed onto this saying that the lottery commission isn't a little bogus. I think that where there is money involved there is always an edge or at least the possibility for one. I agree with you 100 percent Four and I do the same thing as you. I will invest a little money into a lot of numbers and every once in a while I will dump a ten or twenty on one combination. It seems that when I hit a good pay out it has always come when I dumped the cash a few minutes before close out. Anyways, my rules are simple.

Never bet anything that you cant afford to lose. Look at it as a night out when you splurge.

Follow your own workout but always compare to numbers to see who has similar pairs. Maybe add a combo if you see something that you like.

Play the trips everytime when you see them more then three times in the workouts.

3. They may sell winning Quick Picks, but not to ME, so I pick my own.

4. If you play one or two lines per game, power play is worth it.

5. I don't wait until the last minute, but I wait until the evening of the draw to play.

6. I may soon be the only one left in PA who HASN'T won the PB jackpot, so I have at least 1 ticket in every game ,regardless of JP size... certain weeks just beg for more tix to be played but others don't.

7. When it stops being fun, stop playing. I dropped every other game and just play PB now because that's still a bit of fun (thorougly bored with Match6 and Cash5)
